Chapter 52.1: Stars

On Yan Guofeng’s birthday, many distinguished guests attended the party.

When Zhang Ziyi and Tang Zheng arrived together, they saw Cen Ning standing next to Yan Xingzhi from a distance, wearing a little white dress.

She squinted her eyes slightly, and she finally saw it clearly. It was indeed white!

“Ningning!” Zhang Ziyi lifted her dress up slightly and rushed towards her on high heels.

Cen Ning looked and smiled at Zhang Ziyi. “Ziyi, you are here!”

Zhang Ziyi stood in front of her, looked her up and down. “Why did you change the dress? What happened to the one we bought together?”

Cen Ning paused. “Uh… That one…”

Zhang Ziyi: “Yeah, where did that go?”

Cen Ning: “…”

Zhang Ziyi: “Then why is it inappropriate?”

Tang Zheng, who was watching the excitement on the sideline, looked at Yan Xingzhi, then at Cen Ning, and suddenly seemed to understand something. He silently pulled Zhang Ziyi back. “She can wear whatever she wants, why do you care so much?”

Zhang Ziyi: “No, Ningning looked really good in that dress.”

Tang Zheng: “This one looks good too.”

Zhang Ziyi: “That one is the one I chose out of thousands of choices.”

Tang Zheng: “Then maybe this one is chosen by Brother Yan out of thousands of choices. Tell me, which one will she choose?”

Zhang Ziyi: “…”

While chatting, the surrounding crowd became restless. It turned out that it was Yan Guofeng who walked out.

Later, the toasts were staggered, the blessings continued, and Yan Xingzhi also walked over to help greet the guests.

Cen Ning and Zhang Ziyi didn’t have to socialize, so they stood by the side, watching others while eating.

“Ningning, look at Meng Peiyan. It’s not her turf today, so why is she wandering around?”

Cen Ning ate a piece of cake and looked up. Today Meng Peiyan was wearing a dark red dress. The dress complemented her fair complexion and beauty. It was very pretty.

“She is such a big star, she can be the center of attention wherever she goes.”

“Bah, I don’t think she is so beautiful. You are much prettier than her.”

Cen Ning laughed. “Really?”

“Isn’t that right?” Zhang Ziyi touched her nose. “Otherwise, why would Brother Xingzhi only like you?”

Cen Ning lowered her eyes, with a slight smile on her lips. “He is not someone who only looks at appearances.”

“Hey, you’ve already said such things. It seems that your relationship is getting closer and closer.”

Cen Ning gave her a side glance. “I’m not talking to you. I’ll go to grandpa’s to give my blessings.”

“Hey, I’ll go too, I’ll go too.”

Everything at the birthday party went smoothly, but Cen Ning did not expect that on the second day after she returned to school, there would be hot news on the Internet.

The news this time was about Yan Xingzhi and Meng Peiyan.

The photo probably came from an attendee. In the photo, Meng Peiyan was beautiful and gorgeous, with a sweet smile on her face. The man next to her was not someone in the entertainment industry, so mosaic was placed on his eyes.

But even so, it could still be seen that the man’s elegance was boundless.

The person who sent the news said that this time it was a private banquet scene, and Meng Peiyan had an unusual relationship with the man beside her…

Meng Peiyan was a female star who could easily stir up topics. Originally, it was just a few simple pictures and a few words from the person who leaked the photo, but after being disseminated and processed on the Internet, it became more and more serious in the end. It was even revealed that the man had a strong background, had unlimited power, he was Meng Peiyan’s fiancé, and numerous other rumors.

It was because of her roommate that Cen Ning saw the news. Chen Miao hesitated at first, but finally couldn’t help it, and directly handed the news to her.

Anyone who knew Yan Xingzhi could tell at a glance that the person in the photo was him. Cen Ning looked away at those eye-catching words such as ‘talented man and beautiful woman’ and ‘strong combination’.

Chen Miao: “Ningning, are you not angry?”

“What am I angry about?”

“Look at what they wrote. This is your boyfriend, okay? When did he become her boyfriend?”

Cen Ning looked at the angry Chen Miao laughing. “Netizens like to spread rumors. There is nothing to believe, and ah, don’t you like Meng Peiyan the most? Why are you on my side now?”

“No matter how much I like her, she is still far away from me. You are the one next to me, right?”

“Cringe.”

Chen Miao giggled and said again, “But they are indeed together in this photo.”

Cen Ning paused. “I was there that day.”

It was just that her temperament was not like that of Meng Peiyan, who would enthusiastically respond to others and deal with wine cups.

Cen Ning lowered her eyes slightly, not only thinking that if she could be like Meng Peiyan that day, would it be her who stood beside Yan Xingzhi? Wouldn’t they be together in the photograph…?

Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed again.

How silly, someone who wanted to take a picture of the two of them didn’t care if there were other people by Yan Xingzhi.

The Yan house.

After changing his military uniform, Yan Xingzhi was about to go out.

“Brother!” Yan Xingyao suddenly stopped him. “Don’t go yet.”

Yan Xingzhi: “What’s wrong.”

“Look, you are featured in today’s headlines.”

Yan Xingzhi frowned, took his phone, and looked at it. His eyes sank.

“Brother, you two look good in the photo.”

After finishing speaking, Yan Xingzhi took a cold stare at him, and Yan Xingyao took a step back. “Right, look, grandpa.”

Yan Guofeng had just seen it, and now seeing Yan Xingzhi coming out of the room, he said solemnly. “Xingzhi, come here, I have something to say.”

Seeing the large family sitting in the living room, Yan Xingzhi had an intuition that Yan Guofeng had something important to say, so he stepped forward: “Okay.”

Yan Guofeng said: “I know that you are very dissatisfied with my previous decisions. After so many years, I also understand that since some things cannot be forced, then I will not force them, so as to save you juniors from difficulty .”

Yan Xingzhi paused for a moment. “What are you saying?”
